Ventura police said they arrested a man Wednesday accused of indecent exposure near juveniles.

At about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a report of a man in a vehicle involved in lewd activity near girls in the area of Day Road and West Point Street.

The man fled before officers’ arrival, but based on information gathered at the scene, including the vehicle description and the description provided by the girls, officers identified the suspect as a 27-year-old Port Hueneme resident, according to authorities.

At 4 p.m. Wednesday, detectives found him at his residence and took him into custody in connection with Tuesday’s incident and a similar one in July in which he was identified as the suspect, according to police.

Police said he was booked into Ventura County jail on two counts of indecent exposure and two counts of child endangerment, all misdemeanors.

The Star generally does not name suspects who are arrested solely in connection with misdemeanors.

Anyone with potential information in the case is asked to call 805-339-4413.
